COER celebrated 68th

Independence Day on August 15, 2014 with full enthusiasm and glamour. The function was organized in front of CAC building. Sh.J.C.Jain, chairman COER unfurled the tri colour flag. Addressing the occasion he said that with the attainment of independence we began a new era of challenges and change in our national life. He asserted that the patriots and freedom fighters who did not hesitate to sacrifice their life for the achievement of freedom were those people who had common vision. They had that indomitable spirit in them to realize that vision of theirs which they kept for themselves. Relentlessly they fought against the blowing wind of adversity but the strong will power they had made them achieve that which was known unachievable. Those fearless and visioned souls are to be the constant source of inspiration for us.

From The Desk of Editors Dear Readers, We have immense pleasure to let this issue of Saraansh released to our esteemed readers. Responding to the change over taking place in the environment we predicate that we must take it for a mandate that we are generating a rational knowledge system to envision India of future. Dear COERians, please come forward to break the eurocentric psychology that was once perpetuated by Lord Macauly whose chief object was to make us discard our self-esteem our native culture. Fail to understand the blind move of the fashionable Youths towards the knowledge system that can only drain the infinite and unchallenged hidden potential in them. The misinterpretation and misunderstanding of that called ‘traditional’ as something fixed, outdated, superstitious, conservative, and primitive by modern science can only impede the sustainable human development process. ‘Traditional that relates to India consolidates its age long cultural view of being dynamic and amenable to improvements and modifications based on the latest technical know-how that people of this country may acquire according to their needs. Hence a queer dichotomy between the traditional and modern knowledge systems should be removed to generate a rational knowledge system that takes into view already acquired knowledge of the local inhabitants of this country.
